Watford's Sarr suffers hamstring injury in Tottenham Hotspur draw

Ismaila Sarr suffered a hamstring injury in Watford’s 0-0 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday’s Premier League game.

The forward was handed his 11th league start and 16th appearance, but could not complete the encounter owing to an injury.

The Senegal international limped off in the 89th minute after picking up a muscle problem and was replaced by Ignacio Pussetto, who made his debut in the match.

We're forced into a late change and it's time for a debut...
